HIRATASYOUTEN

Everyone's hands differ in size and shape, in finger length, and in the thickness of the back of the hand. Ready-made gloves can end up too tight or too loose, so here our artisans examine each customer's hands directly and draft a pattern for that person alone. Stitching that looks beautiful right to the fingertips and a range of colors that pair easily with any outfit reflect the care given to how the gloves look as well as how they feel. We want as many people as possible to experience gloves that feel just right from the moment they slip them on.

Our gloves are made by skilled artisans gathered in a small, family-run workshop. We cannot produce in large volumes, but in return we never begrudge the time spent on each step of the process. Inheriting from the previous generation the skills rooted in this region, which produces roughly ninety percent of the gloves made in Japan, and passing them on to the next, we value craftsmanship that satisfies the people who use our gloves. Putting quality before efficiency, we will go on carefully making our gloves one pair at a time.
